Setting up e-mail export

---

The Study Export tab of the Clinical Group form has three items that study participants can use to set up export of data to the study coordinator.

E-mail address

The e-mail address of a central data collection site should be entered here. If you choose to export data via e-mail it will be sent to this address.

Maximum attachment size

Some e-mail systems limit the size of e-mail enclosures (attached documents). The default value is 128 Kb. If an export document exceeds the specified size the document will be split into multiple enclosures and reassembled when it is imported.

Single attachments only checkbox

Some e-mail systems limit the number of e-mail enclosures (attached documents) per e-mail. Selecting this option causes export document(s) to be sent out as a series of separate e-mails. This is rarely needed and increases the time needed for the export. Do not choose this option unless you are certain you need to.

Study Import

The third tab of the Clinical Group form allows study coordinators to add or modify Study Participant IDs and modify and save the public key used to import encrypted study data. For more information on the use of these features, see the Otobase Clinical Trials manual.

Add Participant ID

Each participating site should be assigned its own Study Participant ID (range 0 - 999) for the study (see Assigning the Participant IDAssigning the Participant ID

). To record the information for a participating site, start by entering an ID number Modify Participant Info

You can enter the participant info for the selected ID number after clicking on this button.

Modify Public Key

Study participants should generate their own key pair and send the public (decryption) key to the study coordinator (see Generate Key buttonSetting up encryption). The study coordinator can then import the participant's public key by selecting an ID number, clicking on the Modify Public Key button and pasting the key into the displayed dialog box. If a key is stored for this participant it is signified by a Yes.

Delete Participant ID

Clicking this button will delete the selected participant's ID.

Save Public Key To Disk

Selecting this button will create a file with the selected participant's public key in it. The file can then be distributed on disk or opened in a word processing program for copying and pasting.
